@baskerville: Hmm, not quite sure I understood the "image" question? That was the output from
hexdump -x /dev/input/event1 after a single tap in the top-left corner (i.e., Nickel's hamburger menu), mainly so you'd have an idea of what ABS_MT_POSITION_X & ABS_MT_POSITION_Y looked like (0x35 & 0x36, respectively, third column from the right, actual coordinates in the next column).
Just for my sanity, I just checked through strace, and the ioctl pair (PUT_V/GET_F) do get fired, so that does indeed look like the device is messing with you

. (I did not decode the content, though, but I'm assuming it's correct, since that works when getting back to the FM).
EDIT: And yes, when it works (f.g., going from 270 to 0, one after the other), everything matches your Glo HD example

.
EDITē: Err, my bad, that holds for the fb, NOT the touch axis

. My top-left corner touch example is at (61, 1026).
